1984 Fan Documentary - 5 Part Miniseries

I wonder if Dave's "AI Voice" sings better than Dave these days?

This is the first use of AI voices I've come across that was actually a good thing...

Out now

Just watched it.

Good episode! Lots of little details I don't recall hearing.

I really don't notice the lack of official released music being removed. The story carries it.

You were probably too busy listening to VOA.

You must be oblivious with the Oldtimers disease.

WTF is VOA..? Very Old Assholes?

Yeah, Oldtimers disease for sure... my ability to ignore bullshit has reached Master status... LOL

There were a couple of music snippets, where I immediately knew it wasn't Ed playing, but they didn't take away from the overall quality of the story telling.

[ZahZoo]

I do find it disturbing they forced Mike to sign away publishing/song writing on his birthday... that's just mean spirited.

Any idea on when we're getting the last episode?

Not sure.

The last episode of course deals with the eventual breakup.

An event in history that should have never happened.

No...it shouldn't have. The brothers were obviously barely functioning adequately at that point...and Dave's ego and movie-star dreams were out of control.

They were virtually the biggest rock band in the world. They'd just made a HUGE album. The world was waiting with incredible anticipation for a follow-up...

And then they dropped the ball.

And instead we got fucking Sammy Hagar.

Such a sad state of affairs that went down.

Too bad they didn't have a real manager to make sure the band wasn't going to implode.

Lots of bands went through turbulent times but they had great management to steer the ship clear of any icebergs. Bands like Queen, the Stones, etc.

I love that ticket price

[Rikk]

I love that ticket price

I was eight. I'd give anything to travel back in time and get tickets to this show... (I've watched MONTREAL '84 so many fuckin' times...)

[Vinnie Velvet]

The 1984 tour was doing crazy business. Additional shows were added in several markets to keep up the demand.

In so much I think one of the promoters - can't remember which state - sent a letter to Noel Monk and said that they will book VH in a stadium on their next tour.

Clearly the band was going to reach almost 1977 Zeppelin levels in terms of filling up stadiums.

But Dave, Ed and Al fucked it all up in '85.
